Celeron G5905 vs Core i7-5600U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron G5905 is faster than the Core i7-5600U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-5600U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-5600U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Celeron G5905 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-5600U. The Core i7-5600U outputs less heat than Celeron G5905 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Celeron G5905 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
